87 Thunderbird LX 3.8 Reply #1 – April 29, 2015, 05:26:25 PM Depends on the amount of rusty parts... Last foxbody that I sped got me $450 in s metal alone. A running car, even needing rebuilt should be worth more than that. Quote Selected

87 Thunderbird LX 3.8 Reply #5 – April 30, 2015, 01:43:32 AM II lied, i just looked at my receipts. $240 for the car with engine. Would have been $320 without the tow, and $40 for the cats off the car and $35 for another set i had in the garage. If i included the trans it would have been an extra $40 or so.I bought the car for $400, drove it for 80k miles, then if i would have towed it down myself with the old auto in it, i would have about gotten my money back out of it.

I can always use spare exterior parts. Interior not so much. I'd just be worried about it getting back to my house under its own power if it "needs bearings". I don't have a truck or trailer to get it home. It's a 41 mile interstate drive from my house. Quote Selected

I have a 5.0 HO and Speed Density computer that would work just ducky in it. It it's still around in a week, i might take a look.My poor wife.
